There is no dought in my mind that its Just a matter of time that Shiro utsuri will be entered into Go-sanke in Japan. This type of fish has become SOOOO popular and it has Showa blood line. Its time will come as more people ask why not !!!!

#5 goshiki
#6 kujaku

Easy question. It has too be shiro utsuri.
From what I have seen they are harder to find a high quality one than any gosanke. At any big show you normally can see some high quality kohaku, sanke, showa....but those shiros are hard too find.

Shiro Utsuri and Chagoi

[Vogata]

Kumonryu
Shiro Utsuri
Asagi

Number 4 is definitely shiro u. Number 5, not that's a tough one. I have also noticed the increasing popularity of goshiki, but I think Chris may be right. Chagoi.

I'm torn on this one. While I think Utsuri is definitely next in line on the show circuit (for now), Chagoi is a very popular choice for size and tame attitude. The Kujaku, Goshiki, Koromo, Asagi, and Shusui are true beauties in their own right that have to be hovering near the top as well though.
